Sprinkle the gelatin over 1 cup of cold water. Let sit 10 minutes. Heat the remaining water, coconut milk, and the sweetened condensed milk in a small pot, into it pour the gelatin mixture. Stir until blended. Strain through a strainer if you can't get all the lumps to melt. Keep this mixture warm/rewarm as you make the mold.

Pull 3/4 cup of the white mixture into a measuring cup an allow it to cool to just warmer than room temperature. Pour over the back of spoon, over the red jello. Move the pan around to cover the red. Refrigerate for 60 minutes.

Make the orange gelatin. Again keeping the total water at 1.75 cups liquid. Cool to room temperature, pour over a spoon, tilt pan to even the layer and allow it chill.

Keep layering white and colors allowing the mold to chill as long as you can, at least an hour but up to two if you can.

To un-mold dip the mold in hot water for 10 seconds. Top with a plate then flip the whole deal over.

﻿﻿﻿I have a favorite thing to do which is going to different grocery stores and buying food I've never eaten before. Most times it's a wash. Sometimes things are marginal, items that are fine but I need not purchase again. Sometime you get a royal stink bomb. Makes me think about the time my friend and I bought a can of asparagus soda. Nothing good can come from that, I assure you.

But recently I bought these wafer sheets. I'm clever enough to know they are a dessert item but I hadn't really had them before, or knew the best ways to manipulate them.

Fast forward weeks later and my daughter picks up the packet out of the pantry and asked if she could eat them. "Eat them? No, I have plans for them."

I had no plans but it did lead me to a different favorite thing to do which is getting on line to discover new food things. While the Oblatne are not common there were a few Croatian recipes that explained how to make them work. How to work them flat side up, wr…

I will never be a professional baker again. At any rate, that doesn't keep me from messing around with brownie recipes to fill the chocolate void in my life. I do like a cookie but those need to be portioned. And I do like a cake but that need to be frosted, or chilled like for cheesecake so brownies. One pan. Bada Bing, Bada Bam.

So in place of the S'mores that have blanketed the world, let's go back to a time when nuts and chocolate were king and marshmallows added was racy. I give you the daring Rocky Road.

I love carrots.
My kid will tell you I'd cook them all the time if she'd eat them. I do cook them regularly in things let her pick around because you know, it's not a restaurant I'm running here. This recipe comes from a restaurant Washington dined at.
I saw this recipe and thought, yes! Carrot cake. Then I looked more closely and saw it was going to be dense because this predates chemical leavening. I was pleasantly surprised that it got taller than I expected however, it was still a tighter crumb than what I find pleasant. At two cups of sugar to two cups of flour this is a sweet, solid cake.
I'm looking forward to the invention of baking soda, to be honest.
